To most Yes fans looking back at Tales From Topographic Oceans, the biggest disappointment wasn't the album, tour or Rick Wakeman's departure after the tour. It's that no soundboard or broadcast recordings exist from the tour. There are however 73 different bootleg releases of the tour. All audience recordings of differing quality from unlistenable to this great Mike Millard audience recording. In my humble opinion if you want one good recording from this tour this is the one to have. The sound is really good, Mike the Mic had a great position and with The JEMS Team's great work with the transfer you have an awesome listening experience!

Rosebud & I feel very lucky that we were able to see Ray Charles in concert together. He played at Pine Knob Amphitheater with a pretty funny comedian as opening act. Ray was escorted out by the Raelettes to his piano to join in what I think was his old instrumental track "Booty Butt". Before playing his first song Ray said it was his birthday which my memory thinks he said his 70th. The man played and sang like you would expect the King Of Soul to. After his second song he says "They tell me we have plenty of seats available in the pavilion so any of you on the hill want to get a little closer management says you can come on down." The hill was pretty well sold and not a lot of people got up so Rosebud and I walked down the hill and got 12th row center seats for the best concert we would see that year.

Steve Perry – lead and backing vocals

Gregg Rolie – keyboards, backing and lead vocals
Ross Valory – bass guitar, backing vocals
Aynsley Dunbar – drums

This recording comes close to when Aynsley Dunbar leaves Journey. It's actually the start of the one by one loss of everyone, except for Neil Schon, that had anything to do with bringing Journey from No Name to Fame. Next to leave will be Gregg Rolie, then Ross Valory. The music would also go through changes as the members came and went. When Steve Perry came in the music went from a Progressive sounding Hard Rock to a more radio friendly sounding Album Oriented Rock or Arena Rock. This in turn was the reason for Aynsley Dunbar's departure. When Gregg Rolie left and Jonathan Cain came in, the music evolved to a synthesizer driven Pop Rock. When Ross Valory left the band become a full on Adult Contemporary Ballad band. Unfortunately the band has slipped into the same swampy farce as the 1980s Hair Metal scene. With members and former members engaging in law suits over the bands name, Steve Perry released a solo album  and claims he never felt like a real member of the band and refused to take part in their Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame performance...Now that's said, screw it and let's just enjoy some great music....

Les Binks – drums

Early broadcast from Judas Priest on their Stained Class tour. A lot of Judas Priest fans prefer the recordings with Les Binks on drums. Each time Judas Priest changed drummers there was a change to the music as well. When Les Binks joined The Priest actually took a heavier turn. Heavier and faster, but when Dave Holland joined Priest took a more commercial turn. The songs seemed to be written for a more radio friendly sound. When Dave Holland was replaced with Scott Travis Judas Priest returned to a Heavier sound. Not sure if these were calculated moves or just what happens when a band changes one ingredient in the mix.

This recording does show it's age or maybe more correctly it's generation. I would love to get a hold of a 1st Gen copy or the master because this is an awesome early performance from Priest. It is an enjoyable listen, but has a few little flaws...

Today one of my favorite songs brought tears to my eyes. We have lost one of the greatest songwriters in the world, Kris Kristofferson. Ray Price, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, Johnny Cash, Sami Smith (she had a hit with "Help Me Make It Through The Night"), Janis Joplin, Joe Simon, Patty Page, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rod Stewart, and Elvis Presley just to drop a few of the names of singers who have recorded and had hits with Kristofferson's songs. He wrote one of my favorite Country songs ever. The the typical Country Music Story which nobody ever wrote better, "Sunday Mornin' Coming Down". I mean Ray Stevens released the 1st version of that song in 1969. Ray Stevens the guy best known for "The Streak" recorded that song. So did Johnny Cash, a great songwriter himself who needed no help writing a hit, recorded a Number 1 Hit Single with "Sunday Mornin' Coming Down". When a songwriter records one of your songs, you know that you did something right. Kris Kristofferson reached a kind of immortality. His songs will carry his name into an infinite future....Rest In Peace Kris Kristofferson.

OK, Rosebud had to work today, the leaves are changing color in my backyard, and it's raining. I needed something bright on this grey morning. So I picked this Pat Metheny Group show to start my Sunday Morning Jazz time. The combination of Pat's guitar tone and the keyboard sound of Lyle Mays do paint a bright picture in the mind. For Me the music they create always has a calming uplifting effect like lying on a grassy knoll in the sunshine on a warm summer morning. A light breeze makes the leaves dance, birds sing and you have not a care in the world....Enjoy Your Sunday My Friends!!!!

Oh Yeah! Krokus on tour to promote Hardware. The first Krokus album I bought was One Vice At A Time. I heard "Long Stick Goes Boom" on the radio, on the late night program. The late night program on WRIF-FM was different than the Day shift. Late night you might get whole albums played. They were a little looser with what they would play. When The Plasmatics Beyond The Valley Of 1984 was released they played it in it's entirety. When The Clash released London Calling they did the same. Some nights just what ever the DJ wanted to play and requests. I got them to play Black Sabbath's "Spiral Architect" when the only Black Sabbath you heard on the radio was "Paranoid", "Iron Man" and "Heaven And Hell". Hell I got them to play ELP's "Tarkus" dude on the phone sounded as high as I was...am

So my first chance to see Krokus came when they opened for Def Leppard at Joe Louis Arena. I think the Krokus set might have been broadcast. I read an interview with Marc Storace where he was quoted saying "We were kicked off the Def Leppard tour. They were jealous because we got a better reaction every night." Now Krokus kicked ass, mind you it's a foggy memory, but I remember Def Leppard being just as good. The second time I saw them was at The Fox Theater in Detroit. They were on a tour with W.A.S.P., Metallica and some other band that I can not remember. Metallica was still underground on tour to promote Ride The Lightning. You couldn't walk out of The Fox that night without some kind of impression of Metallica. They were in the middle of the show, louder and so much heavier than the rest. I had already been a fan since Kill' Em All. Already playing Thrash myself. There were a lot of people that, unlike me and a few others, had never heard Metallica. That was my last Krokus show, my band started getting regular shows in the 1980s, I caught some shows missed a lot....

I remember the first time I heard R.E.O Speedwagon. I turned on my radio just as the DJ was saying here's "R.E.O. Speedwagon..." and "Golden Country" came on. Man that organ and the guitar riff just got me. I've always wanted to do a Heavier version of it. It really could be a Heavy Metal song. I actually made myself a compilation called Songs That Should Be Metal Songs "Golden Country's" on it. So are Bruce Springsteen's "Adam Raised A Cain", Queen's "Shear Heart Attack", and "Tenament Funster", The Eagles "Victim Of Love" among others.

Back to R.E.O. Speedwagon. I went out and bought the album and I still have it in rotation on my turntable. R.E.O. in the 1970s had a Spinal Tap kind of saga in the lead vocal position. Cronin's in Cronin's out, Mike Murphy's in Mike Murphy's out, Kevin Cronin's in, it made for what some call a spotty musical history. The change in vocalist always has a effect on the sound of any band. I am in no way saying that the Mike Murphy albums are bad albums. There are songs on those records that the Kevin Cronin R.E.O. continued to play live. They can not leave a stage without playing "Riding The Storm Out". This FM capture is a little thin on bass but is a great performance and a nice listen!

Offer number 2 for getting over the Hump day, an FM recording of Hard Rock Legends Thin Lizzy. It's kind of ironic Ford Auditorium is no more, the Orchestra moved to Orchestra Hall it closed...WABX-FM is no more it went of the air sometime during my teen years unfortunately...Thin Lizzy is no more, we lost Phil Lynott way to freaking young...The band Thin Lizzy was revived by surviving members, but had to change their name after legal issues came up. Also it couldn't have been better if it was set up purposely. Like in a political campaign, OK Phil first of we are going to play an iconic theater in Detroit, with a real Detroit name. The Ford Theater! Then we broadcast it live on one of Detroit's oldest Rock Stations WABX. Not only that Phil, but we want you to cover a song by an iconic Detroit song writer Bob Seger! Yeah! and it's going to be the song "Rosalie" written about an iconic Detroit AM Radio Personality Rosalie Trombley who broke so many Detroit music Legends on the iconic AM Radio station CKLW! It doesn't get more Detroit than that...I think it's a key to the city winning strategy!

It's Sunday Morning and my coffee is ready. This nice show from the Bill Evans Trio is just what the morning needs....I downloaded this great show from our old friends at BigO what they said about the show is below...

What BigO Said:
Bill Evans’s use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, “singing” melodic lines continue to influence jazz pianists today. In 1963, Evans recorded Conversations with Myself, a solo album using the unconventional technique of overdubbing over himself. He passed away in 1980. He was 51.

Everything I see says this gig took place on December 30, 1978. I have found 2 newspaper or magazine adds and 1 bootleg cover that shows this date. Setlist.fm and The Concert Archive show the date as December 30, 1978. Also most sources on the net has The Doobie Brothers playing Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, Sacramento, California on December 29, 1978. I will let you decide but the evidence suggests December 30, 1978. Maybe our friend Draftervoi has some information on this one.

I have included the news paper clippings I was able to find on the net about the date of the show. Enjoy this great sounding Doobie Brothers concert!

This one may surprise a lot of people but I happen to love Neil Diamond's music. He is such a great song writer, you see his name everywhere in the world of Pop, Rock and Adult Contemporary Music history. The Monkeys, UB40, Elvis even Deep Purple recorded and had hits with Neil Diamond songs. It's really no wonder that he was able to obtain such heights as to star in and write the soundtrack for a major motion picture. The Jazz Singer soundtrack hit number 3 on the American Billboard chart. Three singles "Love On The Rocks", "Hello Again" and "America" also hit the Top 10. My go to Neil Diamond is "I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight". I had an 8-track copy of it that I wore out. This is an awesome sounding recording so enjoy!

All though I wasn't a very big fan of Smashing Pumpkins during their heyday they are the band from the 1990s Alternative Rock Boom I still listen to the most. The 1990s for me was a time when a lot of personal problems really had me in a bad way. The music of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains among others actually spoke to me in a deep way. Maybe it's an association thing, I do hate thinking back to that period in my life. Anyway, I can remember when a girl that hung out with my group of friends told me "I heard a song that reminds me of you. It's called "Bullet With Butterfly Wings.." See my family of friends have a different nick name for me...it's Rat. For many reasons, one is that I come and go with out you knowing. I leave without saying goodbye or when you think I'm gone, you see me scurrying about. Plus I was from a town that everyone called Shacktown (it's listedon Wikipedia) and people from Shacktown are called Shackrats. It's a rough neighborhood where lots of my school friends were not allowed to visit me. So Shackrat became Rat...Just Dave is actually my legal alias from my time in the Thrash band Psychosis it's on everything. And I went way of track again but I already been smoking so Enjoy The Pumpkins!!

We have been on a bit of a Kansas kick at our home. I have been transferring my boots from a 5TB and a 4TB dive to a 22TB one. It's been a long process that is not quite finished. It however has been fun going through the archive finding shows that we forgot we had. Like this beautiful little item here. It's  only 22 minutes long but it sounds Great yes with a capitol G!!!  Every Kansas fan Definitely should download this show!!!!

I mean it every Kansas fan download this one here even if you have it in you're collection. Why? Because there is a little extra surprise inside since the show is so short!! What kind of surprise you ask? Here are a couple hints....Think unreleased demos...think vocalist Steve Walsh...think of the album released after Steve Walsh left Kansas...Think recordings made before Steve Walsh walked out....So if you guessed you are already downloading. If you haven't guessed you will find your answers will come to you at about 1MB per second when you download this great set!!
